yTOY DESK TELEPHONE.

Application led August 5, 1922.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JAMES KELLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toy Desk Telephones; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent in- Fig. la view in -rear elevation of a toy desk-telephone embodying my invention'.

Fig. 2 a view thereof in horizontal sectio on the line 2 2r of Fig. 1. I

Fig. 3 Aa detached plan view of the receiver-hook member of the two-part mounting-clamp ofthe device. y

My invention relates to an improvedtoy desk-telephone, the object being to produce a simple, durable, and pleasing toy simulating a telephone and constructed with particular reference to fewness of parts and convenience of operation.

With these .ends in view, my invention consists in a toy desk-telephone having a two-part mounting-clamp, one member of which carries the receiver-hook and the other member of which carries the telephone bell.

My invention further consists in a toy desk-telephone having a two-part mountingclamp, one member of which is extended at one end to form an integral receiver-hook and the other member of which carries the telephone bell.

My invention further consists in a toy desk-telephone having certain details of construction and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In carrying out my invention, as herein shown, I employ a transmitter 5 pivotally mounted upon a post 6 upstanding vfrom a cap 7 applied to the upper end of a standard 8 having a base 9. A cord 10 connected at one end with the transmitter has its oppo site end connected with a receiver 11 adapted to be removably inserted into and normally serial No. 579,909.

which mounts a seif-contained bell 15 having a projecting operating-lever 16 and secured j trairby a rivet 17 to the said clamp-member 111,

which is upset, as at 18, to form a flat bearing for the bell. The projecting ends of the clamp-members 13 and 14 are perforated for thereception of clampingscrews 19 by means of which two members of the clamp are gripped upon the standard.

As shown, the receiver-hook 12 and clampmember 13 'are cut from a. single pieceof sheet-metal which is then twisted -uponv its` axis to the extent of 90 to bring the receiver-hook into the horizontal plane.

The several features herein shown and described may be ofl any approved construction, so long as they answer the intended purpose. Thus, the transmitter 5 and receiver 11, instead of being of the non-electric diaphragm type, might be dummies ofthe electric type, either form of transmitter and receiver being equally applicable for use in a toy desk-telephone with my improved twopart mounting-clamp, one member of which is provided with a receiver-hook.

I claim: i

In a toy desk-telephone,`the combination with a base of a standard rising therefrom, a transmitter surmounting the standard, a rcceiver connected by a cord with the toy, a two-part mounting-clamp applied to the upper portion of the standard, a self-contained bell, furnished with an operatinglever, mounted upon one part of the clamp, and a receiver-hook forming an integral eX- te-nsion of one end of the other part of the said two-part clamp and bent at a rightr angle to the plane of the said part, so as to lie in the horizontal plane.

Intestimony whereof, I have signed this speciiication in the l ing witnesses.
